CONSUMED IN SMOKE.
What the American Public Pay Annual,
for Tobacco.

What the American Public Pay Annually
for Tobacco.
Last year the losses by reported fires
in the United States reached IL total of
S120, 100000, or an average monthly
loss of 100000 This is regarded as
an enormous waste and is largely due
to incendiarism and carelessness. How
to reduce the amount so lost is a matte r
of constant study. Legislatures, local
governments and insurance companies
make regulations and exercise the
greatest care to prevent fires. And yet
the loss they occasion is 100000, 900
per annum less than the amount paid
by consumers for cigars, and $S6, ,500,-
900 less than the total cost of tobacco
consumed in smoke.
Last year tax was paid upon 3,510.-
S9S, 4S3 cigars. The average smoker
is content with cigar worth $50 per
!, ZOO, or one that retails at 5 cents. On
that basis there annually goes up in
snake $1So.O00.0O0. or $4,000. 900
every month. or s5O0.00O every day.
In addition. boys waste on cigarettes
sc, 500. 600. and those who prefer pipe
further sum of $40, 100000.
How many smoke? If we deduct
from the total population as non-smok-
ers all children under fifteen years, con-
stituting forty per cent of the total
population of 60.OOo,O0o, it leaves &c.
00C, 600, of whom one-half are females;
deducting these gives a male popula-
ton, above the age of fifteen years, of
1S,OO0,000. Ifsix out of every ten males
above the age of fifteen years smoke, it
means that 10,S00,0O0 persons consume
$50, 1898. .4SS cigars, or an average per
smoker of S25 cigars per annum. This
is less than one cigar per day. The
average smoker, however. is not
apt to be contented with a daily allow
ance of one cigar, demanding at least
two. If the latter basis is the nearer
correct, the army of cigar-smokers
would be 4.S09. 449. being eight per cent.
Of the total population above the age of
fifteen years.
Whatever the number of smokers. it
is a moderate estimate to place the cost
of smoking to the people of the United
States at S206.50O, 900. If the cost of
chewing tobacco is added the total ex-
penditure for tobacco reaches syst. .5O0.-
900; that is a sum that represents per
capita tax of s3.44 per annum- If the
number of smokers is 4.809, 449. the ay-
erage expense of smoking is s42.O each
per annum; if the number is 1000, 900.
the cost is s28.64 per individual; if TO-
800. 900 it falls to S19.12. a sum suffi-
cient to afford one tive-cent cigar daily.
and leave balance of eighty-seyen
cents for extras.-ABsericGS Grocer.

Fragments From Emerson.
Envy is Ignorance.
Practice is nine-tenths.

Envy is Ignorance.
Practice is nine-tenths.
Discomfort is infirmity of will.
Insist on yourself; never initiate.
Stick to one business, young man.
Life only avails. not the having lived.
Concentration is the secret of strength.
Always scorn appearances and you
always may.
Trust thyself; every heart vibrates to
that iron string.
Your goodness must have some edge
to it, else it is none.
Nothing is at last sacred but the in
tegrity of your own mind.
Let man know his worth, and keep
things under his feet.
A true man belongs to no other time
or place. but is the center of things.
1t is as easy for the strong man to be
strong. as it is for the weak to be weak.

He Heard of it Daily,

An English rustic had been sent BY
his shrewish wife to market to sell the
pig. On the way he went into so many
ale-houses that he got drunk.
The unmatched pig strayed away and
Dever returned. But if he never again
heard the musical squealing of the pig.
his wife did not let him forget the loss
or his own misdeeds-
A few weeks afterward some one
asked him if he had heard any thing of
